A special mare

He couldn't help but give his mare "Reina Blanca" one last kiss and take a photo to post on his WhatsApp status as a sign of pride and gratitude towards this very special animal, which that day had confirmed the abilities that his skills as a good breeder had predicted since he first saw her. In her debut at the racetrack, in her first formal participation on the track, "Reina Blanca" easily defeated all her rivals. The experts who witnessed the competition were amazed by the elegance and speed she displayed from the very beginning of the race.

He was eager to get home quickly so he could tell his wife Margot about the mare's unquestionable triumph and the splendid future that all the experts predicted for her. She didn't like horses; the only time she accompanied him to the ranch where the animals were kept, she made it clear that she couldn't stand the smells and noises that made her sick and that she would never go near one of those unpleasant beasts. When he decided, impressed by the dazzling appearance of that white quadruped, to use all his savings to buy her, Margot did not stop grumbling at first, and later shouting because she realized she was not going to convince him, her disapproval of this insane act he was about to carry out. Again and again, she reminded him of the financial difficulties they had gone through because he, Douglas José Martínez, insisted on keeping a bunch of horses that had never brought him the profits he dreamed of, without realizing that reality was warning him otherwise. Of course, his wife said in a disdainful and reproachful tone, he had once again found the horse that would make him rich and had to bet everything he had on that fantasy that would soon turn to bitterness...

Now he would have to eat his words, Douglas told himself with a satisfied smile on his face. "Reina Blanca" was shaping up to be a regular winner, and the profits she generated would allow him to forget about the financial setbacks he often had to face. From that moment on, Margot would no longer find any reason to reproach him so vehemently for his equine hobbies. When he entered his home, in high spirits and hoping that his wife would feel equally happy, she said to him in a harsh and determined voice: “I'm leaving here forever. Find yourself another woman who will put up with you. How is it possible that you kiss that mare with a passion you have never shown me?” And she left.
